Dr. Mary Jane Minkin & Whitney Cummings On The Need To Remove The Stigma Of Talking About Women’s Health & More

It is 2021, so why are women still referring to their own bodies like its 1951? Women should feel empowered to be direct when asking their healthcare providers what they want for their reproductive health, but that is not always the case. Los Angeles-based comedian Whitney Cummings is of course a big believer of that, and she sharing her own experience about that empowering women in a talk with myself and Dr. Mary Jane Minkin, MD; that conversation was made possible by TherapeuticsMD.

Health aside, Whitney Cummings is also an in-demand actor, writer, producer and director. While best known for creating and starring in the NBC series Whitney, she also co-created and co-wrote (with Michael Patrick King) the Emmy-nominated CBS comedy series 2 Broke Girls. In November 2019, Cummings launched her own podcast titled Good For You, which features the host sitting down to interview both her friends and experts from a variety of fields. New episodes of Good For You are released on Wednesdays, the latest of which featuring fellow comic/actor Ron Funches.
